Rome & Vatican
Shortly after takeoff from FCO, view the sprawl of the Eternal City and the distinct dome of St. Peter's Basilica.
Lake Bracciano
A stunning volcanic crater lake located north of Rome, clearly visible during the initial climb.
Cinque Terre
The five famous colorful fishing villages of Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore.
Portofino Peninsula
The iconic, lush headland and the exclusive harbor of Portofino nestled in the Ligurian coast.
Port of Genoa
A bird's eye view of the massive industrial docks, the 'Lanterna' lighthouse, and the city's historic center.
Apennine Mountains
The rugged spine of Italy provides a dramatic backdrop to the coastal landscape throughout the flight.
The right side is the undisputed winner for scenery. For the best lighting, choose a morning flight when the sun illuminates the colorful coastal villages. Keep a sharp eye out for the Leaning Tower of Pisa as you pass the mouth of the Arno River. During the final approach into GOA, you will be flying parallel to the dense, hilly neighborhoods of Genoa, offering unique urban views.

Tyrrhenian Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean waters throughout the mid-flight segment.
Tuscan Archipelago
Aerial views of the islands of Giglio and Elba, where Napoleon was famously exiled.
Corsica Horizon
On very clear days, the jagged mountain silhouettes of northern Corsica can be seen in the distance.
Genoa Anchorage
Observation of large container ships and tankers waiting to enter Italy's busiest port during the final descent.
Sit on this side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun hitting the right side. While less detailed than the coast, the island silhouettes against the water are serene and photogenic during sunset.
